According to the flag report, you can live without a small intestine and on an IV drip. However, it is arguable that you cannot live a normal life without a small intestine, as otherwise you are constantly attached to an IV.

Can you get intestines transplant?

If you mean, "can you live without your large intestine?" then yes, you can. One must wear a Colostomy bag to collect the waste that leaves the small intestine. The large intestine also plays a small role in reabsorbing water and ions, so one would have to make sure they are not getting dehydrated or experiencing symptoms of low ion concentrations. If you mean "with only small intestine -- no stomach, etc.", then no, you cannot.

Side effects of removing the large intestine?

The removal of a person's large intestine is called a "colectomy". When it is removed, the end of the small intestine (where the large intestine would normally be joined on to) is then bought to the outside surface of the person's abdomen (normally next to the navel), where it is stitched in place and a colectomy bag is then attached to collect waste material. (Yes, the colectomy bag is outside the person's body). A person can live quite healthily without a large intestine - it is not necessary for life, just useful.
